This invention reltes t0 improvements in necktie supports und has particular reference to a means for supporting a, necktie upon a collar button.

A further object is t0 produce a device which is econonical to manufacture.

A still further object is t0 produce a device which is neat in appearance and there- :E0re one which Will 11013 detract from.the appearance of a necktie.

Other objects and advantages Will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part 0f this specification and in which like numerals are employkad 130 designate like parts throughout be same,

Fig. 1 is a front elevation 0f my device showing a portion of ashirt and necktie in broken lines.

Fig. 2 .is a perspective view 0f one portion of my device as the same would appear when attached 130 a bow tie,

Fig. 3 is aperspective view of ehe soeket portiori of my device,

Fig. 4: is an enlarged detail cross sectional view,

F ig. 5 is a cross sectional view taken 011 the line 55 of Fig. l, and

Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view taken 011 the. line 66 of Fig. 4.

Many persons find it very difiicult to tie a t-ie so that it will look neat. I have provicled means whereby a plate may be attached to the rear of the tie af'ter it is first tied, which plate carries a stuc1 adapted to be received in aso'cket portion Whi0h socket portion is formed upon a button to be placed through the usual button holes of the collar band.

In the accompanying drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment 0f my invenon, the numeral 5 designates a plate which is adapted t0 be sewed t0 a necktie 6. A stud 7 is secured to the plate 5 in any convenient manner and carries a head 8 which is adapted 130 enter a resilient socket 9, which Socket is preferably formed o:f rubber 01 resilient material and is h-eld in a, cup-shzped portion 11 of the button 12.

The result of this construction is that when the plate is attached to the tie and the collar button has been placed through the button holes in th e neck-band, the head 8 may be forced into the resilient socket 9 of the collar band after which the tie Will be retained. in place until the wearer forcibly pulls the head 8 out 0f its socket.

It Will thus be s-een that this device will accomplish all the objects above sei; forth.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example '0f the same and that various changes relative to the material, shapa, size and arra1igement 0f parts may be resorted 00 without departing from the spirit 01 the invention 01' the scope 0f the subjoined claim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

In a device of the character described, a plate for attachment to a neektie, a shank secured t0 said plate, a head formed on said shank, a collar button cooperating with saic1 shank, said collar button hzwing a cupped shaped portion, a resilient lining forrned in said cup whereby the head of szd shank may be inserted in said cup and engaged by said lining.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
